Utility Rate Changes

The board held a Public Hearing prior to the regular council meeting on 2/14/2019 and no patrons attended. The total for the rates will remain the same; the ratio of the rates will be adjusted. The water rate was 1.3 cents per gallon. The sewer rate was 1.25 cents per gallon. This is a total of 2.55 cents per gallon. The new water rate will be 1.1 cents per gallon. The new sewer rate will be 1.45 cents per gallon. The new total is still 2.55 cents per gallon. This rate change is to combat the water fund overage and the sewer fund losses. This change will take effect the next billing cycle.
